    Alright i gotta rant.....

    Why TF do all these new small trucks look so puny, wussy, and just plain un-manly? I wouldnt wanna be seen hopping into that thing. Same goes for the colorado and canyon, even the new taco (though its the best lookin one of all).

    Never in the design team's conversations have they said "this is a truck, we should make it look tough".

    Buncha pansies making these trucks....

    Travel out of north american and realize the rest of the world is different than us. Just like the standard vs metric DERPness.

    He's not saying that his truck defines his manliness, but he wants his truck to look tough, and cool. Most of us played with Tonka trucks as kids, not Barbie's Vette (although I did paint my sisters Barbi Vette black).

    I loved my Xterra... I had a 2011 4x4 that I had no issues with. Only complaint was the gas mileage and I couldn't afford the payments at the time.

    A lot of those "toned down" designs are coming out due to the need of better aerodynamics.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I'm glad they ditched the "Avalanche"-style bed, but it still looks like a minivan up front.

    I've never spilled a single drop of bodily fluid over a Hilux. They can keep that ugly thing in Europe.

    If I could get a right hand drive Taco with the hilux diesel I would be happy. I like boxier looking cars/trucks so I would personally rather have the Taco body than the Hilux. But that right hand drive and diesel would sell me in a heart beat. I think the new T4R & 4Door Jeeps are sexy AF :poking::crapstorm:

    The raked back grill of the Hilux and the Ridgeline are a big turn off for me.

    Just a damn minivan with a truck bed. The only difference is it doesn't have a sliding door on the passenger side.

    It sucks.
